VIDEO & PHOTOS: Shane Speal's Retro Tin Pan Alley Guitar

Last week, we shared videos and photos of Shane Speal's Radical Red G-Bass. Well, Speal's back with another retro-inspired guitar, the "Tin Pan Alley" 3-String Paint Can Resonator Guitar Kit.

Watch the Demo

Here's his full demo video, showcasing the "85% string tone and 15% trashy metal rasp" tone made famous by the Tin Pan Alley kit!

Matching his G-Bass, Speal recreated the classic 1950's artwork from a Stella Sundale acoustic guitar except he substituted a retro blue for the original red.

All paint is simple Rustoleum spray paint.

Speal also used gloss spray polyurethane for the neck.

The paint jobs make his  G-Bass and Tin Pan Alley guitar look like a matching set!
